On the proposed migration of the Sons to Russia — a move in- itiated more than a year ago — Mr, Justice Lord expressed the view that anyone knowing the Sons problem would. recognize that “the proposed migration to Russia would not take place,” This has practically been admit- ted in evidence given before him, the commissioner said, “In conclusion on the subject of*the apparent lack of’ interést on -the part of the Doukhobors to purchase the lands, I believe there is a definite feeling ap. proaching antagonism toward a solution of the problem.” ‘WA to the B.C.
